I love this fabric. It is comfortable in all types of weather. I only wish the hem was just a plain hem rather than the drawstring on each side. Are you just supposed to walk on the hanging loops once you've drawn them up? I'll probably cut the pants off and hem them in the traditional way. I do love the style and the fit except for the funky hem. It looks okay but I don't like the loops hanging down. I actually ordered a bigger size because I am kind of in between an 8 and a 10. The 10 was way too big, though, so I sent those back and reordered. The 8 is perfect.
